Additional File History Availability Delivery Information: 

A confirmation will be sent prior to processing every order. In the event that your order takes more than 2 business days to complete, we'll send status to you via e-mail or fax updating you with the latest information regarding your order. We understand that it is important for you to know the status of your order.

File history orders begin processing immediately upon receipt. Delivery time will vary depending on file availability from the United States Patent and Trademark Offices. 

We are happy to report to you that we process and ship 87% percent of the file orders we receive the very next day! This applies to printed, CD-ROM and Download orders.

Specifically, most US files 4712622 to present ship the very next day! File histories 4712621 and prior will take and average of 1 to 3 weeks to ship. This is because the USPTO stores the older files in warehouses in Suitland MD, and we must wait for the PTO to locate and retrieve them.

"Lost files" require an Official Search done by the USPTO. Only 25 to 30 percent of files in official "lost" status are ever recovered by the USPTO. 

"Group/Art Unit files" It is not possible to determine when a files being held in Group or Art Units at the PTO will be released for us to copy. In many cases, the examiner is working with the file and will not release it for us to copy. We are very experienced with Group files, and we also have associates who specialize in Group file acquisition - "If it can be had, WE will have it!"
